Alignment specs that transformed the handling in my iron block blower car
I had an alignment done last weekend and tried a few new things with the camber and caster. These small tweaks (along with some r888s) have completely changed how the car handles. It seems to have negated all of the weight up front and just feels more confidence inspiring going through the turns. It felt good enough I thought it would be worth while to post so others can try if they feel the handling decreased with added weight.

Thanks! It's not the end of the world for me but I have to say I certainly can feel the increased weight of my new lsx iron block and it's not great. Taking the car in for alignment after doing the coil overs so this is perfect timing
Have you had it at 130+ yet? Wondering if high speed stability any different

Made a few pulls on the drag pack from 60-~145 and felt good too

surprised not less camber to hook up better?
I'm thinking i'll copy your setup but run less camber to try and get this crazy car hookup a little better and stop spinning my nt05r's at 100mph....

How wide are the 18's on the front of your car? How do you like them?
I'm about to order a 15" beadlock setup for mine but I'm undecided between a 17" alumastar runner for the front or an 18" rts front. 18 looks better but I'm trying to figure out what the pros/cons are to each.
Beautiful car btw!
